El consumo de drogas y su impacto en la economía familiar según estratos socioeconómicos en el cantón Manta, año 2023

Abstract

Drug use is a phenomenon that affects families in different ways depending on their socioeconomic situation. Drug use in these families reflects the deterioration of the quality of life due to the high costs of treatment and rehabilitation. Drug use affects families in Manta differently depending on their socioeconomic status, with low-income households being the most vulnerable. The problem not only reduces economic well-being, but also exacerbates social and economic inequalities in the canton. Comprehensive intervention and effective public policies are required to mitigate this impact and improve the living conditions of those most affected.
